Lawless

Lawless is the Servamp of Greed and has a contract with Licht Jekylland Todoroki. He often quotes Shakespeare and is a good fighter.

Appearance
He has spiky yellow-blonde with dark brown streaks with slim, dark red eyes and red square-frame glasses.

Background
He once had a good relationship to the man who created the Servamps - he describes him as a father figure.

One of his Eves was a woman named Ophelia. He was in love with her, but she married another man in order to restore peace to her country. Lawless was deeply hurt and also worried about her. Despite her efforts to restore peace, the marriage was a ploy to win the trust of the kingdom in order to overthrow them. Lawless pleaded Ophelia to run way with him, but Ophelia declined because what she wants is peace for both countries. Ophelia offers herself as sacrifice in order to inspire her citizens and ensure her death had meaning for the kingdom. Lawless from then on sat at her statue and defended it. Around the same time, C3 ordered the Servamps to kill the person who had created them. To decide on the controversial matter, the Servamps decided to hold a survey to determine the fate of their creator. Having just lost Ophelia to humanity and fearing losing the last piece of human family he had left, Lawless objected to the notion. With the vote split three to three, the oldest Servamp, Sleepy Ash, was the deciding factor. He reluctantly agreed that it was best that the creator be killed and was sent to finish the job himself. This decision was enough to cause a one-sided dispute between Lawless and his brother for years to come.

When Lawless returned "home" he recognized that the war had began, and the statue of Ophelia was destroyed. This furthers his image of fault in human kind and justifies his belief that "No one can hatch from their cocoon and become a butterfly." In response, Lawless begins to devalue human lives in response to the tragedy that had befallen Ophelia and the Creator.

He was the Servamp of an American actress and went to Licht's concert. When he saw Licht, he decided to make him his new Eve. After going back to his current Eve, he kills her.

Lawless then meets with Licht in his hedgehog form and tricks him. He is named Hyde and forms a contract. When showing himself as the vampire he is, Licht attempts to murder him to rid the world of demons like him.

Reunion with Sleepy Ash
Lawless accompanies Licht to a concert in Japan, what in fact was a trick by Tsubaki who pretended to be a relative to Licht in order to lure them to Japan. Lawless purposely made himself being trapped in a cage to make Mahiru and Kuro thinks that he is captured by Licht to lure them. As he hoped, Licht is then approached by Mahiru and Kuro who wishes for them to cooperate together in the battle against Tsubaki. Lawless frees himself from the cage and cheerfully introduces himself and Licht, which earns him a kick by Licht. Still feeling bitter for what happened in the past, Lawless refuses to work together as he mockingly sneers Kuro by reminding him of what happened last time, something that angered Kuro. They were interrupted by a ringtone from Lawless' cell phone, prompting him to leave because he has a part time job.

Ambush at Piano Concert
Not long after, at the concert Lawless realizes, that all of the audience are vampires and when they try to attack him, and Lawless easily kills all of them. Only two managed to survive - Belkia and Lilac. He once again meets Mahiru and Kuro, and Lawless once again declines Mahiru's request to fight together against Tsubaki, reminding that Kuro is capable of doing it alone if he is serious, bus Mahiru disagrees. Lawless tells Mahiru that he knows nothing and begins to tell him their past regarding the request they received from C3, which enraged Kuro who quickly cuts him off before he could finish the story. Noticing that Kuro doesn't want Mahiru to find out that much, Lawless continues to mock him as he states how he hates Kuro for trying to forget what happened. The two have a brief duel in which Lawless seems to have the upper hand until Licht came between them and showed them their past with his piano play. Disliking remembering his past, Lawless attacks Licht to stop him from playing, but they were stopped by Guilderstein. Everyone in the room then sensed Lilac's presence and Lawless attempts to kill him. Mahiru stopped him before he could, pointing out the fact that Lilac couldn't and wouldn't harm them. Annoyed, Lawless leaves, having an appointment to meet with World End.

Kidnapped by Tsubaki
On his way to meet World End, however, Lawless is confronted by the enraged Tsubaki and he is captured. When he awakes in Tsubaki's hideout, he finds himself unable to move and believes that Licht has died since his wounds weren't healing. After a while, he can hear Licht's voice and at first thought it was simply a voice in his head due to their contract. He soon realizes, however, it really is Lichts voice coming from the room next to him. The two of them start to argue about what happened if Licht dies, and the argument escalates when Licht finally questions what Lawless is trying to run away from. Losing his patience, Licht manages to kick through the wall and challenged Lawless who is more than willing to accept.

The battle resulted in stalemate since both are injured, so Lawless decides to stop by simply stating that he is himself. Licht merely scoffs at Lawless statement, continuing to point out Lawless' attempt to escape from reality. This makes Lawless loses control and absorbs Licht, showing him his memories. In respond to Lawless showing his memories, Licht plays his piano and urges Lawless to stop running away from his pain and be honest with his true wishes. Reailizing that he still wants to ask Kuro what he was thinking when deciding to kill their creator and doesn't want to let Licht die, Lawless and Licht uses their power and able to break through the room. Just as they are free, they are confronted by Higan who came to check up on them after hearing the noises they caused while fighting.

Battle Against Higan
Together with Licht, Lawless able to corners Higan by switching their positions; Lawless in defence while Licht in offence. Higan decides to get serious, changing to his young appearance by drinking Licht's blood and quickly overpowers Lawless and Licht. Laying injured, the three are distracted by Kuro who takes a form of huge black lion, which surprises Lawless and makes him wondering did Kuro has changed. Regaining his determination, Lawless tries to suck Higan's blood, but he is quickly got punched back. With Higan holding him close, Licht uses this opportunity to make a music note on Higan's arm using his own blood, disrupting Higan's brain. Licht begins to play "Phantom of the Opera", giving Lawless a necessary power boost and defeats Higan.

After defeating Higan, the rest of Servamps and Eves approaches them, tending to their injuries. Kurt uses this times to properly reconcile with Lawless, who forgives his older brother. Mahiru and Kuro then asks what his current name is. He reluctantly revealed that his current name is "Hyde" and the item he received is a necklace with his name that Licht himself made. Their happy moments are short-lived as Lilac snatchs Lawless' necklace, resenting him for killing his friends and nearly kill him just a few days before. To make things worse, Tsubaki appears and takes the necklace from Lilac and proceeds to slice the necklace in half, causing Lawless to lost his Jins and power.

Three C3 members then arrives and encloses Lawless into a black box to prevent the jins from spreading further and stays there for the duration of the fight. When the box was opened, Lawless returns to his hedgehog form. Afterwards, C3 arranges for Lawless and Licht to stay with Mahiru for the time being. Unlike Lily, after his necklace was destroyed, Lawless becomes quite a crybaby but overall doesn't change much. There C3 appeares again and tells them they're going to be placed at C3 HQ, something that Lawless objects. Unfortunately, they manages to lure Licht away with melons. Lawless can't belive what happens, but he can't stop his naive Eve and follows him.

C3 HQ
Lawless and Licht are placed in a room, provided with everything necessary for them. Lawless tries to remind his eve to think of the situation more seriously, but Licht simply enjoying his melons, leading Lawless to shout out for his oldest brother to save him. After his many attempts to make C3 allow him to meet his brother, he is finally given permission to meet Kuro, Mahiru, Misono, Hugh, and Tetsu. Misono reveals to everyone that ever since Lily lost the jins inside him, not only he spent most of his times sleeping, Misono also notices that Lily's body is becoming weaker. This scares Lawless who fears he will share the same fate if this continues. Kurumamori then proposes for them to be checked by a doctor that may able to restore their powers in exchange they help Tsurugi. Lawless refuses the request after what C3 had done to them, but Kuro and the others agrees because they don't have much choices, forcing Lawless to comply.

As told by Kurumamori, Lawless, Licht, Misono, and Lily goes to meet the doctor, Faust, who welcomes them by happily saying he can't wait to start experiments on them, scaring Lawless who thinks he is going to die. While Faust starts experimenting Lily, Lawless searches through the C3 database in effort to get away from the doctor and by a chance finds the location of the room where his sister, the Servamp of Wrath, The Mother, is being kept.

After Tsurugi Kamiya went on a rampage in the C3 headquarter, Lawless, Licht, Hugh, and Tetsu finds Mahiru and Kuro bound by Tsurugi's technique, rendering them unable to move. After hearing the situation, Lawless and Licht promised to stop Tsurugi on behalf of Mahiru and Kuro who were no longer able to fight. Mohair lends Lawless the ID Card given to him so they will have easier access to each floor and room. When they finally able to find the room, however, the room needs three digit codes to enter and then there's a blackout. Thinking it's Licht's fault for randomly pressing the buttons, they have another fight until the light is back and the door opens. Lawless and Licht finds The Mother and he quickly asks for her help, but she revealed that her Eve had died of old age.

Despite knowing this, Lawless still pleaded for her to join the fight in order to save her subclasses and stop the enemy for the sake of Mahiru who saved both him and Kuro. She stated that Lawless had grown up since last time, something that Lawless bashfully denies by saying vampires doesn't age. She carries both Lawless and Licht as they proceeds to go to where Tsurugi is. When they arrived, the subclasses has defeated Tsurugi by drowning him into the bottom of elevator, panicking Lawless. The subclass questions Lawless if he is going to save the magician who has killed many of their kinds, and for once, Lawless can't retort. Licht volunteers to save Tsurugi, which Lawless immediately objects, so The Mother volunteers to do it instead, jumping into the water without hesitation as Lawless and the others looks on. The building starts to shake and the ceiling fell, prompting Lawless and the others to escape from the place.

Personality
Lawless is self-centered and particularly emotional. After Ophelia's sacrifice, Lawless lost all motivation in living for himself and rather chases after the shadow of Ophelia's desires. He has no faith in the world and would much rather bring his Eves to the ground to prove his own selfish belief. He is sensitive and stubborn, and he typically acts impulsively to block any suspicion of his actions. For this reason, he is regarded as being unconventional and otherwise very dangerous.

Through Licht, it is revealed that Lawless simply has no aspirations for himself and is otherwise driven by nothing but his own loneliness. Unlike his Eve who is accustom to loneliness, Lawless is shown to long for someone to love him, and his extravagant methods of switching Eves was only a means of refusing to face this fact. Overall, however, Lawless is extremely energetic and obnoxious. He has no trouble poking fun at others and tends to introduce himself and others through extravagant means. Lawless tends to be self-serving but an otherwise positive presence.
